WASHINGTON — The State Department says it's aware of Iranian media reports that three American citizens have been detained in Iran.

Spokesman Robert Wood says the U.S. has asked the Swiss, who represent American interests in Iran, to confirm the reports with Iranian authorities and arrange for diplomatic access to the three, if the reports are true.

The Americans reportedly were detained Friday after crossing into Iran's Kurdistan province — when they failed to heed warnings from Iranian border guards.

An official in the region told the BBC that the Iraqi border guards saw three Americans with big backpacks crossing the border, but they did not stop them because they thought Americans were allowed to go anywhere.

So much for the reports coming from the American MSM that the hikers had accidentally crossed over into Iran.

U.S. cannot contrive an excuse to screw with Iran over a patently absurd context of "Americans kidnapped! held hostage!" Peace far outweigh the deadly consequence of belligerent imperialist behavior by the West after a "failed" provocation with, uh, Iranian guard speedboats in the water territory some time ago.
